Research On The Effect Of Non-cognitive Ability On The Employment Quality Of Workers

The employment quality is a key factor of happiness of workers and make a great difference to economic development.Though the government has adopted a number of policies aimed at improving the quality of employment,in the circumstances of economic transformation,there are still many problems such as low wages,insufficient employment security,low job satisfaction,and restricted career promotion in the labor market,which makes the employment quality of Chinese workers at a low level.At present,the discussion of factors affecting employment quality mostly focuses on the external environment and traditional human capital,and lacks research at the individual micro-level.Some studies have shown that high cognitive ability alone is no longer a sufficient condition for labor market outcomes,and non-cognitive abilities such as conscientiousness,pioneering spirit,collaboration and emotion management ability are playing an increasingly essential role.In the meantime,in the practice of business administration,a growing number of companies use the test results of workers’ personality and traits as an important basis for recruitment and training,so as to improve the competition ability and the employment quality of the person with ability.Consequently,analyzing the impact of non-cognitive abilities on the employment quality not only helps to achieve high-quality employment for workers,but also promotes enterprise management level and high-quality development of social economy.On the basis of new human capital theory,from the angle of non-cognitive ability,this paper discusses the influence analysis of non-cognitive ability on the employment quality of workers through the use of 2020 China Family Panel Studies data and a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods,and gives a further analysis on mediating effect of the social capital and psychological capital.The following conclusions of the study are drawn:(1)Non-cognitive ability can remarkably improve the workers’ employment quality.(2)Non-cognitive ability impose an favorable effect on the social capital and psychological capital.The improvement of the non-cognitive ability of workers is contributing to the accumulation of social and psychological capital.(3)Psychological capital and social capital can positively affect employment quality.(4)Social capital play a mediation role between non-cognitive ability and employment quality of workers.(5)Psychological capital has a mediating effect between noncognitive ability and employment quality of workers.(6)Heterogeneity analysis shows that non-cognitive ability is more beneficial to achieve the high-quality employment quality of male workers than that of women,and promotes young labor force(18-35 years old)and the general level of education groups more than other groups.Based on the conclusion mentioned above,this paper puts forward relevant suggestions from the three levels.Individuals should consciously cultivate non-cognitive ability,actively participate in social activities to accumulate social capital,and cultivate positive and optimistic attribution orientation to cultivate high-level psychological capital.Enterprises should take non-cognitive ability as an important criterion for selecting and promoting talents,provide social platforms to increase the social capital stock of workers,and actively develop and optimize the psychological capital of workers.The government should increase the investment in non-cognitive ability training resources and policy guidance,make efforts to hold employment double elections,and open universal mental health education courses to help workers build confidence in the future.From the three perspectives of individuals,enterprises and governments forming resultant force,we hope the employment competitiveness and employment quality of workers will be improved and high-quality employment in society will be achieved.This study takes the perspective of non-cognitive ability as a new entry point,and studies the employment quality covering multiple factors as a whole,which not only expands the theoretical frame,but also enriches the relevant content.It gives some advice on improving the competence and employment quality of workers,and offers a new perspective for understanding the deep-seated factors affecting the employment quality of workers and improving employment-related policies.
